In one paragraph
Lydex Solutions Ltd is a small independent studio in England, founded in 2026. It builds apps that are always ad-free, with no tracking and no data sold. Its apps include Nine Men's Morris Through Time, a strategy board game that carries the four-thousand-year-old mill game through seven historical eras, and SpellStar, a spelling practice app for primary school children built on the Department for Education statutory word lists. Both are on the App Store and Google Play, as is Pawpaths, a cosy zoo puzzle for families. Pawpens, Sudoku Through Time, Trivia Geek and Wildfold are on Google Play, with the App Store to follow. Children's data never leaves the device.
